About "Liquid Light"
"Liquid Light" is true testament that the flame of inspiration can be ignited by absolutely anything. I was at a braai at the house of good friends of mine (where inspiration has struck various times before), when my friend randomly placed a torch at the bottom of my cool drink glass while I was taking a sip from it. Excited by the result he took a photograph to show me the effect. Needless to say one look at the image and my Inner Artist was instantly inspired.
It did, however, take a while for the idea to make it onto the canvas. Between the "torch incident" and the first yellow splash I went through a rather uncomfortable and seemingly endless Artist Block. Even though I bought a canvas especially for the "Liquid Light" idea, I went back and forth regarding the execution as I was just not in the mood for another portrait. At one point I even started drawing the image onto the canvas just to erase it again the very next day.
Finally, during the Easter Holidays when I was able to take a breather from ToonSchool, I was able to turn my attention to the blank canvas. I literally woke up one morning with the thought, "Dude, today you're going to paint. I don't care what you paint, or how badly you paint it, but there will be paint on that canvas before the sun sets on this day." While I was wrapping up a few stray errands my head was spinning excitedly between three possible ideas. At the very same time that the moment to choose between them fnally arrived, I received an e-mail from he Stellenbosch Arts Association announcing the theme for the upcoming Members' Exhibition namely, "To See the Light". The choice was clear and rather final.
Like so many of my pieces this artwork has a Spiritual foundation and to me it signifies that what you feed your Spirit with is what you ultimately will receive in return. As is Within, as is Without, and vice versa.
May the Creative Force be with you!

About Vernon
I am an Artist, Illustrator, Cartoonist, and Educator based in Cape Town, South Africa, working across a range of Mediums and Creative Disciplines.
My work is inspired by a lifelong love of Pop Art, Art Nouveau, and Popular Culture -- from Comic Books and Superheroes to Fantasy, Cinema, and the Spirit of Adventure and Wonder.
I favour Pen and Ink when working on Paper, while exploring a Mixed-media approach when working on Canvas - combining Oil, Acrylic, Ink, and Encaustic.
At the Heart of my Work is a simple idea: the ability to Imagine and Believe, and to draw Strength from that Belief. It is about becoming something greater by Believing in something greater.
Through The CrissCross Studio and ToonSchool, I share these ideas through Art, illustration, and Creative Teaching -- inviting others to explore their own Creativity and sense of Wonder.
May the Creative Force be with you!
